When it is night and there is darkness in your room  You hear a sound with sharpened ears  Then it is me ‘cause I return from time to time  And I have heard your silent tears    You lock your bedroom door and close the window  Indeed you know that there is no way to hide  I get in from the door on the backside    Baby, I'm your nightmare  But I know that you will like the creeps  ‘Cause nothing thrills like scary deeds  I know that you will like the creeps  You know you'll like the creeps    We learned to know each other many years ago  And in those days I was your man  We never could have been a couple, you and me  But still I do the best I can    To make your sheets alive and fill the space up  That all the others still were leaving behind  To make that sweat is running down your spine    Baby, I'm your nightmare...    We make your sheets alive and fill the space up  That all the others still were leaving behind  To make that sweat is running down your spine    Baby, I'm your nightmare...    You know you can't get over me  ‘Cause I can set desire free  When moonlight's shining through the trees  I'm coming from your fantasies  You need that dirty mad dog, me  You cannot live without, you see  And when it's dreamtime I'll return  To feed the flame in you, it burns for me,  ‘Cause I'm your nightmare    Baby I'm your nightmare
